Let me flip this back on you. Which sidebar material do you think gives the best answers to these questions? Perhaps rephrase your question in terms of asking for clarification within that material's framework.

edit: When I read your words, I could tell that you know what you need to to in your head, but the gut is not yet engaged. My point is that no amount of tips are going to help you until you know really deep down in your gut that it's all just you.

to become the man I want to be

You don't become the man you want to be, you are the man you want to be.

Ever see the film Pursuit of Happyness? The protagonist Chris Gardner is a real person, and struggled with homelessness while raising his son. Living without a permanent roof over his head, he studied to get into business and go on to become worth $60 million today.

What's your excuse for not making something of yourself?

This workbook helped me. Bad news though, you can't just read it, you have to actually do it.

If the question pertains to you specifically instead of a general principle (for example, "how do I deal with procrastination" versus "Is AWALT applicable to people who aren't outliers but are relatively far out in terms of attitude?") it should be in AskTRP. You'll find advice there.

For what it's worth, you need to take a rubber band and put it around your wrist (make sure it's not too tight). Every time you find yourself procrastinating or doing something you don't want, snap the band against the sensitive inner side of your forearm. You will begin to associate the pain of the band with the undesireable behaviour, and this will help you stop it. The only thing is, you have to do it every time, or it doesn't work. If you find yourself rationalising something, snap it several times.
